the photo is of the 8 Real version. the dug coin is a Philip III 1 Real from the Segovia mint in Spain, dating from 1607- 1621, so this coin got here by way of ship from Europe. sure beats those crummy silvers from Mexico:laughing7::laughing7:. then add that it is a cut coin that weighs about 2/10 of a gram_____________the ATPro really showed me what it can sniff when running at zero discrimination and full screen sensitivity. "no eye deer" how to top this with an older coin :dontknow::dontknow:, still not sure if this is hammered or milled, since around 1600 Segovia upgraded to milling coins.
